Evans place was great. A basic accommodation in a local area, lots of western restaurants around but not overly touristy which is nice after being in khao San. Only 90-100 baht to get to khao san (meter taxi) and about half hour away. Super easy to get the keys and Evan was helpful and more than willing to give advice on where to go.
Thanks Evan! Oh yes, three cute husky dogs welcomed us, always a bonus!
